MRS. Writer'S TRIAL.
Both Sides Prepared for a Stubborn
and Prolonged Contest.

DENVER, Col, August 1.-The sensa,
tional case of Mrs. Emily o. Witter, charg-
cd with the murder of her Lu land, John
A. Witter will be taken up this afternoon
and great interest is manifested in the re.
suit. Since Mrs. Witter surrendered her.
self on July IS and gave bond in $40. 900
for her appearance in court to answer
the charge, both prosecution and defense
have bent all their energies toward work
ing up the case, and the trial promises to
be very sensational. The analysts to be
called by the state will conclusively show
that death was caused by slow arsenical
poisoning, the same thing that the coron-
er's jury determined in their verdict.
Whether the crime will be fastened on the
widow is. however, doubtful The estate
of the deceased exceeds hundred thou
sand dollars and this will be freely drawn
upon in herdefense. The husband and wife
came originally from South Bend, Indiana,
and were sweethearts in their childhood
days. Shortly before his death, Witter,
who had been promiscous in his attentions
TO other women, began to dispose of his
property with the intention Of going
abroad, and this is alleged as a motive
for the crime.
